OK... I had an appointment with the orthopedic surgeon yesterday to see about removing the bone chip from my C-4 vertebrae fracture from my bike crash last September and also to see about reconstructing my messed up shoulder from my December bike crash but he can't schedule anything until I get over these EFF'IN SHINGLES THAT I HAVE COME DOWN WITH!!!! WTF???? Shingles is an old farts disease! I'm not THAT goddamn old. And then to add insult to injury, I was driving home from work last night in heavy traffic and I look up and see something that looks like a brake shoe bouncing down the interstate right at me! I had nowhere to go since there was a car beside me so i shifted as far left as possible but the chunk of metal smashed into my windshield, knocking a hole through it and putting a huge dent in the front right "A" pillar. Got the estimate today ($850) and the insurance company is trying to say that it will be covered under my collision policy ($500 deductible) instead of the comprehensive policy ($50 deductible). I DON'T F#@KIN THINK SO!!!!!

OK take a deep breath, rants over. It will all be OK.

Thanks for listening.

That sounds like a shitty day. GL with your insurance company.

You're not too old until you lose control of you bladder and sphincter. LOL


I'd fight the insurance company on the collision/comprehensive deal... that's a crappy deal.

Fortunately those parts still work fine!

Just heard from the insurance company and they decided it was covered under comprehensive ($50 deductable). Now if I can just stop itching.......

Getting old doesn't suck half as bad as iunsurance companies do!

Hang in there. There's nothing more important than good health.

I agree.

For what its worth.. A friend of mine had shingles in his mid 20s.
